Realm of the Night God - Chapter 147: Blood Array

<

The reason Yang Haoran didn’t want to use the talismans in the box was because Wang Yiming was here.

Wang Yiming was from the Fu Sect, and some of the talismans in his box were talismans that the Fu Sect had already lost, although he hadn’t confirmed this, the notes in the broken book said so.

If the records in the broken book were wrong, it wouldn’t matter to use them in front of Wang Yiming, it could be seen as a gift from a friend for protection.

But if the records in the broken book were true, then this matter couldn’t be easily explained in a few words.

It wasn’t that Yang Haoran was guarding against Wang Yiming, but there were too many secrets involved in this matter. If he wanted to keep these secrets, it was best not to let Wang Yiming know about it to avoid trouble.

The floor where Guo Yu’s department was located had already been sealed off by the police. The gentleman who had jumped from this floor before, so it wasn’t surprising that the police would seal off this area.

However, there were still many curious onlookers who were quite curious and fearful about this. They were all patients or family members of patients in this hospital building, and they knew something about the strange incidents that had occurred recently. So, regarding the police sealing off the floor, some were curious and didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, while others were fearful and believed.

Yang Haoran naturally wouldn’t bother with these things. How the hospital would handle it was the hospital’s business, and Yang Haoran also believed that the hospital had the ability to handle it. What they needed to do now was to resolve the issue with the skin ghost.

In the entire floor, there were only Yang Haoran’s three people now. Chen Ying, who was originally worried about Wang Yiming’s safety and wanted to follow, was sternly stopped by Wang Yiming.

The usually bustling floor now seemed quiet and somewhat eerie. Apart from the footsteps of the three people, there was no other sound on the entire floor.

In such an environment, any normal person would probably feel a bit uneasy, but none of the three, Yang Haoran included, were normal people, so they wouldn’t feel fear just because of the eerie atmosphere.

“Brother Yang, is he here?” Wang Yiming asked Yang Haoran.

To perceive Yin, as a night watchman, Yang Haoran was naturally the most accurate among the three. Wang Yiming was very clear about this, which was something he couldn’t compare to with Tong.

“He was here before, but not anymore.” Yang Haoran’s answer was affirmative.

When they entered this floor earlier, he did sense that the skin ghost was in this floor, but when the three of them entered this floor, the skin ghost ran away.

Wang Yiming didn’t doubt Yang Haoran’s answer. He looked to the side at Tong.

Understanding Wang Yiming’s meaning, Tong nodded without hesitation, without wasting words. He took out a dagger from his pocket and directly cut open a wound on his palm.

Seeing this scene, Yang Haoran raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn’t know what Tong wanted to do specifically… it was definitely related to the skin ghost.

Blood flowed from the wound, dripping from Tong’s palm. Throughout the whole process, this Spirit Police, Tong, remained calm, even when cutting his palm with a dagger, he didn’t furrow his brows, as if this cut wasn’t on his hand, but on someone else’s.

“Since witnessing Ma Ling’s abilities last time, I proposed to the organization to assign a formation master to us Spirit Police. The organization accepted my proposal, and later Tong joined us.” Wang Yiming explained to Yang Haoran.

Wang Yiming’s explanation made Yang Haoran understand Tong’s identity. This young-looking guy turned out to be a formation master, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

Back at the Wu Family villa, he still vividly remembered Ma Ling’s Nine-Character Mantra Array. The powerful force left a deep impression on him. If it weren’t for Ma Ling’s insufficient strength, that red-robed evil spirit might have been annihilated on the spot, showing how terrifying the power of formations could be.

“The Nine-Character Mantra Array is a secret of the Ma Family. Although my current abilities cannot set up such a powerful killing formation, I can still set up some formations to trap ghosts.” As Tong’s voice fell, he took out a pre-prepared cloth strip from his body to wrap the wound. By now, a pool of blood had formed on the ground in front of him.

After bandaging the wound, Tong formed hand seals and recited incantations that Yang Haoran couldn’t understand quickly.

Although Yang Haoran couldn’t understand Tong’s incantations, he knew what Tong was doing when he released his own blood.

He’s going to set up a formation, and he’s using his own blood to arrange it!

Normally, formations are divided into three types: living formations, dead formations, and blood formations.

Living formations use living creatures to set up the formation. This type of formation was arranged by Ma Ling at Master Wu’s house. At that time, Ma Ling used a simple evil-dispelling array set up with a black cat, black dog, and rooster, which is a type of living formation.

As the name suggests, dead formations use dead objects to set up the formation. Any non-living entity, including plants with life, falls into the category of dead objects here. Formations arranged using them are called dead formations.

Blood formations, on the other hand, use blood as a medium and are arranged through chanting spells and special hand seals. This type of formation is called a blood formation.

At the moment, Tong’s actions gave Yang Haoran the feeling that he was setting up a blood formation.

Apart from setting up a blood formation, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.

As it turned out, Yang Haoran’s guess was correct. As Tong’s hand seals became faster and the incantations he chanted became more urgent, the blood on the ground in front of him suddenly seemed to come to life, wriggling like it had a life of its own.

In just a few breaths, Tong’s hand seals suddenly stopped, and he also stopped chanting the incantations. The wriggling blood on the ground suddenly shook violently.

“Formation!”

A low drink came from Tong’s mouth, and the vibrating blood seemed to receive an order, turning into strands of blood and quickly sketching out on the ground around Tong’s body.

Because of the speed of the blood lines, they even produced a sonic boom in the quiet building!

In the blink of an eye, a complex formation made of blood was formed under Tong’s body.

The formation wasn’t large, only enough to cover Tong within it, but on this small formation, Yang Haoran sensed an indescribable eerie power fluctuation.

What surprised him even more was that after the formation under Tong’s body was formed, the Yin Qi entwined around him seemed to be summoned by something, faintly showing an intention to converge towards the formation.

“With this formation in place, whether that skin ghost is willing or not, I can make it come over!”

At this moment, Tong seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did his expression become full of confidence, but even his tone of speech had a domineering tone that wasn’t there before.

Yang Haoran didn’t know what formation this was, and Tong didn’t explain it in detail, but from Tong’s words at this moment, he could tell that this formation should be able to forcibly summon nearby ghosts.

This was originally a good thing, saving them from continuing to search for this skin ghost, but there was a problem that still worried Yang Haoran.

Through his perception, the entire hospital building, and even the entire hospital, apart from this skin ghost, he hadn’t sensed the presence of any other ghosts.

In the past, when Xu Meijing was still here, Yang Haoran wouldn’t find it strange for this situation to occur in the hospital. With Xu Meijing around, the newly formed souls here were probably guided away by her as soon as they condensed into soul bodies.

But the problem was that now Xu Meijing had gone to Ancheng. During this time, there hadn’t been any Night Watch to guide the undead in the hospital, which could be seen from how long this skin ghost had been causing trouble.

Following this logic, there should definitely be more than just this skin ghost in the hospital. However, the reality was just the opposite. Apart from sensing the presence of the skin ghost, he hadn’t sensed the presence of any other ghosts in the entire hospital.

There was only one explanation for this situation: during this time, most of the newly formed ghosts in the hospital had probably been swallowed by the skin ghost!

Yang Haoran was prepared for this, but he was worried that Wang Yiming and Tong hadn’t considered this yet. If the two of them forcibly summoned the skin ghost without being prepared, they would definitely suffer!

He wanted to remind them, but it was already too late. The formation under Tong suddenly burst into a burst of blood light, and that inexplicable power that even he couldn’t escape from spread out in all directions at an extremely fast speed!
